A curriculum guide may be general or specific and is a way of determining
what to teach, how to teach it, and in what ways to teach material to diverse
groups of students. A guide is specific to a subject or to one aspect of a
subject. When students study a particular discipline, they often are preparing
for qualifying examinations they must take. The school recommends reading
the Guide for the field they will enter, as it makes good sense, and can make
studies more complete.
Curriculum in RCIS is defined as the knowledge, skills, attitudes and
the processes to be taught and learned at the appropriate grades or
in courses in our schools. The word curriculum refers to what is taught,
written and tested. Written curriculum includes framework guides, schemes
of work, lesson plans and grade records. Also, teachers have access to hard
copies of course/grade level objectives, and other framework resource
materials. Teachers follow the courses of study and instructional materials
provided by the School, incorporating the essential knowledge and skills for
each subject that are mandatory. Teacher-made assessments and exams and
the external examinations are congruent with what is written and taught.
Teachers and administrators use test results to assess the status of individual
student achievement, to identify general achievement trends of various
groups of students, and to modify framework and/or instruction as warranted
by assessment results.
